You just see it when comparing them. I first also thought it's black

It's a quite new China board btw... Nb 0402, sb 0407. But it sucks anyway...

Cause it does nothing near my TW boards in fsb and cpu clocks.
Additionally it dropped sound even at 200 and 166MHz fsb when at 3GHz... (Far Cry)
That's it...

Well I guess cheaper production = cheaper products = unhappy custommers. Good job DFI.

But DFI "noobs" only see LP B/Infinity, buy it and getting a China-fabricated one they're spreading around it sucks... that's also kinda unfair to DFI IMHO. (That's what happend over at AMDMB too... but it does not get us anywhere, just gets us angry)

So, it's not that all of the China boards suck... just some, like the one you had (and the dead one that arrived to me). I hope that noob comment wasnt directed at me.
My first DFI was a China board, and I had not even acknowledged that until it was dead. But it was a super OC'er while it was alive, it just worries me to hear people complain about this kind of stuff. Makes me a little insecure about what to buy anymore.
